Riley Andrade is a postdoctoral scholar in the Van Riper Research Group at the University of Illinois. As a Landscape Ecologist and Geographer, Riley Andrade’s research interests include social-ecological dynamics from local to regional scales. Specifically, her work focuses on people’s values and attitudes in relation to nature experiences, as well as how these factors interact with structural constraints to drive management decisions that influence biodiversity and human well-being. She joined the ENVISION project to coordinate the ‘Social learning about the consequences of multiple visions’ with the communities surrounding Denali National Park.
